The book description gives the low down on the story line.
This is a terrific book, well written, as you would expect from Karin Slaughter, the story is good and draws you in in several ways - the investigation, the role of women in the '70's at home and work, what life in the police force was like especially for women but also for blacks and homosexuals and how change was just beginning. Karin Slaughter brings to life the characters, time and place - Atlanta - and weaves a wonderful story which will leave you wanting more.

No, no, no: dopo un'ora di misoginia gratuita e razzismo a caso ho ritirato la mia offerta di dare un'occasione alla Slaughter (una ragazza ha cercato di convincermi dicendo "eh, sì, è un po' misogina e razzista... ma non pesa troppo!" - ma per me è stato DECISAMENTE TROPPO).
Nice to go back and look at where Karin Slaughter started writing. Not my favourite of hers but glad to have read it and very glad to have newer ones to enjoy
Really not possible to enjoy this book. Horrible environment and characters. Really disappointing.

I love Karin Slaughter! I love her character development, her writing style... Even though this wasn't part of my favorite series, I really liked this book. Set in the 1970's, I wouldn't call this historical fiction, but it does give you lots of food for thought: what it was like for minority police officers during that period in the South. A few twists, lots of action - a great read.
Audiobook - really fast paced and kept me guessing until the end.
There just aren't words to express how much I love this author's books! This one, as most of hers, blew me away. I really found the timing of reading this especially poignant. It takes place in the 70's and made me realize how far women and p.o.c. have come yet how far we still have to go.
